Allow the selection of Course and then Reading List when using LTI in a LMS site
There is often complex mappings between institutional courses and LMS sites (these are not always a 1-1 mapping) and due to this the automatic LTI match is not viable.
If courses are pre-loaded into Alma then the instructor may have already built the reading list they require so we do not want the LTI to create another course.
If the LTI adapter allowed the instructor to select a course first and then the reading list then this would lower administration overhead significantly when there isn't a direct map between the course and LMS site.

It would be useful to understand more about how the LTI tool was registered in this instance, and what user/course ids are passed to work with. IF not supported by Field Normalization or custom ids in the LTI, would it perhaps need a reverse look up by user id of the courses they are associated with? If no course in Alma unsure how would work.
